Abstract
In a structural element, in particular a facade element with an outside plate sandwich, in which solar cells are arranged between an outer plate and an inner plate, and with another internal plate, which is provided at a distance from the plate sandwich by means of a spacing frame defining the interior, the solar cells are embedded in a layer of casting resin; furthermore, the inner plate recedes in its dimensions in the region of at least one edge at least partially with respect to the corresponding edge of the outer plate and forms thus a recess that also reaches over the layer of casting resin and through which the necessary electrical lines are guided, whereby the recess in the direction of the interior of the structural element is covered by the spacing frame. As an alternative, the outer plate can recede with respect to the inner plate.
